Windsor firefighters fought a brush fire late Thursday that appeared to have begun on the north side of Windsor Lake during the town’s fireworks display.

The fire appeared to begin about 9:45 p.m., during the fireworks show, in the area from which fireworks were launched.

The fireworks display was not disrupted but moments after the display ended, fire crews moved in and began to battle the blaze, according to Tribune photographer Jim Rydbom who was at the fireworks display.

Windsor Severance Fire Rescue firefighters were not immediately available to answer questions about the blaze, however, they appeared to have it largely under control by about 10:15 p.m.
